The Fox insider nabbed the NFL scoop of the year by procuring a copy of the Patriots' now infamous videotape of the Jets' defensive signals ("the Magruder tape," his Fox colleague Howie Long dubbed it before host Curt Menefee mentioned something called the Zapruder film). Glazer then followed his Spygate scoop by getting the video surveillance tape from the March 19 brawl at the Palms casino between Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter and Bengals lineman Levi Jones. Glazer said the Dolphins and the league office pressured Fox not to air the tape.</description><pubDate>Mon, 24 Dec 2007 04:07:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>NBC: Leno, O'Brien returning to air</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/17/writers.strike/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/17/writers.strike/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>The new year will see new shows from Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, says NBC.</description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:38:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Cable's wireless quandary</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/12/17/magazines/fortune/mehta_cablewireless.fortune/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/12/17/magazines/fortune/mehta_cablewireless.fortune/index.htm</guid><description>The phone business has been very good to the cable industry.</description><pubDate>Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:19:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Atonement, Charlie Wilson's War Top Globe Nominations</title><link>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20165952,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</link><guid>http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20165952,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn</guid><description>Trophy season kicked into high gear Thursday morning, with an impressive roster of seven movies nominated for best dramatic picture in the Golden Globes race.</description><pubDate>Thu, 13 Dec 2007 23:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Alex Trebek has heart attack</title><link>http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/11/trebek.heart.attack/index.html#cnnSTCText</link><guid>http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/11/trebek.heart.attack/index.html#cnnSTCText</guid><description>Alex Trebek, the long-time host of the popular television quiz show "Jeopardy," suffered a minor heart attack at his home Monday night.</description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:40:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Michael Symon back in action</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/21/smbusiness/Ironchef.fsb/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/21/smbusiness/Ironchef.fsb/index.htm</guid><description>Last time we heard from Michael Symon, chef-owner of Lola and Lolita in Cleveland, he had just battled some of the nation's best chefs on the Food Network's Next Iron Chef to earn the esteemed title of Iron Chef.
